Historia
After 16 novels, Jacqueline Winspear has taken the bold step of turning to memoir, revealing the hardships and joys of her family history. Both shockingly frank and deftly restrained, her story tackles the difficult, poignant, and fascinating family accounts of her paternal grandfather’s shell shock; her mother’s evacuation from London during the Blitz; and her soft-spoken animal-loving father’s torturous assignment to an explosives team during WWII.

Revealing
Revisado: 06-14-24
This book is a gift - the author opens up her life and family history in a way that I truly appreciate. It also adds legitimacy to her works of fiction.
Even though I am an American, there is much I identify with due to the stories/experiences of my family during the depression and the consequences of war, plus the life in rural America on and near reservations.
Thank you.

Historia
London, 1945: Four adolescent orphans with a dark wartime history are squatting in a vacant Belgravia mansion—the owners having fled London under heavy Luftwaffe bombing. Psychologist and Investigator Maisie Dobbs visits the mansion on behalf of the owners and discovers that a demobilized soldier, gravely ill and reeling from his experiences overseas, has taken shelter with the group.

The baby gimmick was a bit too much
Revisado: 06-13-24
The main story line was intriguing and made one think of how life was at the end of the war, especially for the young who were abandoned.
I love this series and have listed/read it many times, so when the gender of Maisie's baby went from a girl to a boy in a contrivance, it was annoying and did not add to the story line. In fact, I think it detracted from it.
Everything else was engaging and a bit bittersweet. I will miss all the characters if this is indeed goodbye. I do wonder what happened to Pascale, Francesca Thomas and, as mentioned by others, DI Stratton. In fact, I would love to see a series of book about Francesca Thomas.

When 38 jetliners bound for the United States were forced to land at Gander International Airport in Canada by the closing of US airspace on September 11, the population of this small town on Newfoundland Island swelled from 10,300 to nearly 17,000. The citizens of Gander met the stranded passengers with an overwhelming display of friendship and goodwill.

Kenneth Branagh does excellent work with this book. The Chronicles of Narnia are wonderful and his reading brought this one to life.

Historia
During the last days of Narnia, the land faces its fiercest challenge - not an invader from without but an enemy from within. Lies and treachery have taken root, and only the king and a small band of loyal followers can prevent the destruction of all they hold dear in this, the magnificent ending to The Chronicles of Narnia.

Revisado: 11-28-12
This is my favorite book in the Chronicles of Narnia... it is wonderful to have it as an audible book.
Was a bit disappointed with Patrick Stewart's reading - I think I had too high of expectations as I love his acting. Once I got used to his style, I really enjoyed the book.

Very good audible Bible
Revisado: 11-28-12
This edition is very good as it not dramatized nor background music. It is well-read.
My only complaint is different sections and chapters are not well labeled, so you cannot quickly find a book and chapter.

Historia
Would you believe it took nearly 500 years to translate the ESV (English Standard Version) Bible? That's because the ESV builds on the great translations of the past - including William Tyndale's New Testament of 1526 and the King James Version (KJV) of 1611. But the ESV Bible also builds on the best Christian scholarship of the last 100 years.

Historia
Best-selling author Lemony Snicket (a.k.a. Daniel Handler) recently spoke with Beth Anderson, Audible's publisher, about A Series of Unfortunate Events. He talked about his experience narrating audiobooks, as well as his participation in the movie. You'll hear about his favorite authors and musicians and learn more about the Baudelaire orphans. Whether you are a die-hard fan or new to this fantastically grim and gripping series, this dire dialogue will make you marvelously miserable.

This interview made me want to read more books by the author - even after reading all the Serious of Unfortunate Events as they were released.

Overtly biased but interesting
Revisado: 09-16-11
Bradley vents his hatred of Roosevelt and Christianity unabashedly in this book. It feels like he is looking for a place to vent his venom for the Pacific Theater in WWII. This period of history is much more complex than he portrays it... and the bias is so obvious as to be funny at times. He tends to portray all empire building as Aryan and/or Christian in roots, which is frankly rubbish... one almost feels like he is one step from saying Roosevelt is like Hitler and America is like Nazi Germany in its following of the leadership.
